AUTOMATIC RECONSTRUCTION: FROM 2D TO 3D
Today I had the pleasure of meeting Prof. Long Quan at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.
Prof. Quan has extensive knowledge and experience in the following areas:
View Interpolation (interpolating the missing view)
I saw one example generated from 2 still images. The result: an animation that was so smooth it looked as though it had been created with a fixed camera array, followed by post-production work.
Re-Timing (inserted interpolation)
3D Reconstruction from a Sequence of Handheld Captured Images
This is the latest research focus of Prof. Quan. I saw examples of automatic face/head reconstruction using 40 uncalibrated pictures. In other words, a series of pictures shot around the subject are used to automatically build a 3D model of the subject. No need for a 3D scanner or a blue-screen setup. In the future this system can even be applied to automatic reconstruction of outdoor scenes.
